How can relationships between different types of visualization be represented visually? How can we visualize the information visualization ‘design space’? This is Bryan Chen's thesis topic for the European Master of Science in Cartography (which I have the pleasure of supervising). Please consider helping with this project by clicking on https://forms.fillout.com/t/sYLcKghThrus to explore these visual representations and answering a series of questions about them. This should take less than 10-15 min. Thank you!

I just used LosslessCut to extract & export *dozens* of short video clips from a longer customer call (video recording) — super frictionless process! If this is something you need to do as part of customer research, I can definitely recommend this tool.

Dear friends, do you know anyone who lives in Canada with a daughter?

I am looking for parents of girls who live in Canada for a research study. There's a stipend for a 30-minute interview.

If you know anyone, please pass along my contact info ag@agux.co

Feeling giddy.

I just took — and passed — a 3 hour exam, required as part of the new job I took on last month. It was all highly technical content, in a domain where I have no prior (or adjacent) experience.

But… I passed! 🎉 😅

My goal wasn’t really the test. My goal has been to learn—really learn & grok—this stuff, and then hope that was enough for the exam. And boy have I been learning! I’ve gone from feeling intimidated to feeling confident that I can do this.

Random thought. Maybe it's just me, but my holistic brain is seeing all sorts of connections between open source tech, indie TTRPGs, and Zine publications.

Namely:
- Open sharing of ideas and systems
- Remixing and versions
- New things based upon prior art
- Motives other than profit
- Counterculture/uncommon ideas
- Mutual aid/support
- Collaboration
- Sharing work in progress or "as is"
- "homegrown" solutions to niche challenges
- etc.

It's pretty cool.

I wrote a short post on "Turning Ordinary Workshops into Extraordinary Learning Experiences."

Not sure if this is my unique approach, or just a rough description of self-directed learning, but… 🤷‍♂️ Principles I practice!

Turning Ordinary Workshops into Extraordinary Learning Experiences

I just wrapped up a call with a new friend, who had questions about making a workshop more engaging. From our conversation, and some reflection that followed, this was my top of mind (not…

As someone who (in the past) has worked on a self-directed learning tool, I quite like these design principles from @impactology:
